The Road to Becoming a Leather Artisan | Episode 11

I had decided to make it on my own, but whether for living or for making things, you need money.

So first, I decided to go back for the time being to the part-time job at a Japanese restaurant that I had kept up until graduating from vocational school.

For about five years, from my university days until I finished vocational school, I worked at a Japanese-style family restaurant, making sushi and frying tempura.

I had worked there ever since the restaurant opened and had even been the kitchen's part-time team leader, so they were more than happy to have me back.

By the way, my hands still remember how to make sushi, so I can still make it reasonably well even now (lol).

And so I worked part-time from evening into the night and made things during the day.

That was how this new life began.

Also, my grandparents' house was near my family home and had an unused room, and they told me, "Feel free to use it," so I somehow managed to secure a workspace too.

For now, money to live on, and a place to make things.

Having secured those two things, I gradually began my own work from there.

That's how my independent life began.

To be continued.
